Property Survey Bolton

The RICS Building Survey provides the most in-depth analysis among general surveys, examining a wide array of building features and components. It is designed for properties of any kind, age, or state.

The report includes guidance on most defects, enabling you to seek precise repair or replacement cost estimates from builders or service providers.

As the flagship product in the RICS Home Survey range, this service appeals to clients desiring a clear, impartial, and comprehensive property assessment, surpassing the standards of RICS HomeBuyer and Condition Reports. It must be carried out by a surveyor with the necessary skills for a comprehensive condition assessment. The report clearly outlines risks of potential or hidden defects. The surveyor builds a relationship with the client to clarify their requirements before the service and reviews the report with them afterwards. A comprehensive desktop study equips the surveyor with local property knowledge, and the inspection yields a factual, logically structured report in plain language, clearly separating facts from opinions.

A ‘traffic light scheme’ accompanies each division; red for ‘Beware’ and green for satisfactory.

Should a red code be flagged, straightforward and simple directives are issued, which may imply requiring another survey (from a dedicated company, say) for acquiring a genuine appraisal to rectify or exchange that portion of the building.

Note: Systems for electricity, gas, oil, water, and drainage are only looked at visually, and relevant competent experts must be appointed.
